On the mound, Landon Youngblood started the game and recorded four strikeouts before handing the ball off to Walker Smith, who matched that total with four strikeouts of his own in relief.
Webster City, now 7-12, held off Boone to secure the win.
Boone, now 4-4 in Raccoon River Conference play, will look to bounce back quickly as they hit the road for a conference doubleheader this afternoon at Carroll.
